The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts of the past, Emily genuinely felt that Michael had grown and become more responsible.

She couldn't help but joke with him. "Shouldn't you be the one lying in the back seat?"

Michael smiled awkwardly, but his eyes were full of fatigue. He didn't say much, and soon after lying in the back seat, he fell asleep, barely drinking any water or looking at the food.

Emily knew that Michael was worried about Veda.

Michael was well aware of the responsibility resting on his shoulders, and he didn't dare to slack off.

If it weren't for his physical condition, he would probably head south non-stop until he found Veda.

Seeing this, Emily took a deep breath, sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove south.

She could clearly see that Veda was also heading south. As they moved, so did she.

Fortunately, Veda didn't know that Michael and Emily were already on their way to find her, so her movement speed wasn't fast, and her destination changes were predictable. To ease Michael's burden, Emily decided to rely on her ultimate contact, Abigail.

"What? She ran away from home again?" Abigail was helpless upon hearing the news. "That's what happens with rich kids, no sense of organization or discipline, doing whatever they please! But how many things in this world go according to one's wishes? Especially for unfortunate people like us... it's just pitiful!"

Hearing this complaint, Emily knew that Abigail had encountered some trouble at work again.

But she didn't have time to console Abigail now, so she hurriedly said. "Abigail, do me

a favor. Use your network in Everglade City to help me find Veda in the major hotels."

This wasn't a difficult task.

Emily had thought ahead that Abigail should be able to do this.

Because Abigail often went on business trips to Everglade City and was familiar with the major hotels there. Plus, her hotel expenses were covered by the company, so Emily figured Abigail could find Veda's whereabouts.

Sure enough, Abigail replied. "That's easy, I'll send a message! Don't worry, Emily, I'll notify you as soon as I have any news."

Emily said, "Thank you, Abigail!"

Hearing this, Emily was overjoyed but didn't notice that she had misheard the GPS and accidentally turned onto the left lane, completely going in the wrong direction. Instead of heading south, they were now heading west.

Night had fallen, and Emily didn't know where she had driven the car.

She only remembered that they had been driving fast, thinking they could reach

Everglade City before dark, but unexpectedly, they ended up in Phoenix City.

By the time Michael woke up and realized it, it was too late, and the car had run out of gas.

Emily felt a deep sense of regret and couldn't help but think to herself that she was only causing trouble instead of helping. The more she thought about it, the sadder and more regretful she became.

Emily almost wanted to cry out in frustration. "It's all my fault."

Unexpectedly, Michael said, "Since we're here, let's stay another night before we leave. Aren't you already having Abigail look for Veda? I've suspended all of Veda's personal bank cards, but I haven't touched her VIP card. I'll get a notification if she uses it."

"So, it's okay if we wait another night to find her. We won't lose track of her. She's been pampered for so many years, if she stays outside, she'll definitely slip up." With that, Michael looked out the car window.

The sky was filled with stars, seemingly about to fall, their brilliance lighting up the world.

Michael hadn't expected that, even in winter, the night in Phoenix City would be much warmer than in Emerald City.

The wind blew in through the car window, gently swaying the shadows of the trees, like mist resting on the mountains.

Michael suddenly found this place very pleasant and suggested to Emily that they take a walk nearby to relax.

Emily agreed, as they were the only ones who knew each other here and could rely on

each other.

Phoenix City was a tourist city, so it was bustling even late at night.

Michael and Emily seemed out of place in the lively streets, so they deliberately walked towards quieter areas. Occasionally, they could hear the distant sounds of laughter and chatter, but they couldn't blend in.

Suddenly, Emily broke the silence and spoke to Michael. "Michael."

He turned his head to look at her without saying a word.

Emily's steps were small, causing Michael to slow down as well.

As they walked through a dark area, Emily continued. "When we find Veda, how do you plan to get her to come back?"

Michael had never thought about this question.

To him, Veda was simple-minded and pampered, always having everything done for her. It was best for her to stay in Emerald City with her grandfather and brother.

But if she kept running away like this, Michael would decide to send her abroad. Michael answered, "I'm her brother. If I tell her to come back, she will."

Emily said, "Are you sure?"

Faced with Emily's persistent questioning, Michael looked at her in confusion as she continued. "I mean... Veda must be very disappointed with the family right now. She ran away to Everglade City for the first time, determined to live on her own. I'm afraid forcing her will backfire."

"Do you want me to beg her?" Michael responded directly.

Emily patiently explained, "I'm not asking you to beg Veda, but we need to understand

why she ran away and solve the problem at its root."

Michael retorted, "Why? It's because of that..."noveldrama

Michael almost mentioned Daniel's name but stopped, remembering Daniel's relationship with Emily.

Emily noticed Michael's hesitation and didn't want to complicate things further, so she explained. "There's nothing between Daniel and me, you don't have to avoid

mentioning him."

Michael stopped and turned to look at Emily. "I didn't ask you to explain."

Emily sighed and turned around. "I just think this misunderstanding should be cleared

up."
